Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!  My dogs and I did...


They're not really my dogs but they are pretty cute anyway.

Be well.

Caretaking

Hello, is there anyone still following me? I know I haven't been blogging much lately so I'll be grateful to any of you still checking out this blog. Since I rarely go anywhere, I am the go to gal when it comes to picking a caretaker for others homes when they go on trips. This week I am feeding the neighbors cattle. They were waiting for me when I arrived today, mooing their hunger loudly.

Hope this big guy is friendly! The man didn't tell me to be careful of him so I will assume he is gentle as Ferdinand. Good boy!

All they are interested in is getting their hay and nosing into a full bin.

The feeder isn't the prettiest thing, but it is really rather ingenious. The man got an old motor home and converted it to a drivable feeder. He can fill it with bales of hay and move it around the field to feed the cows so they don't make a big muddy mess in one place. It works well!

After feeding the cows I mooved on to the horses, two gentle Paints.

All this farm equipment resting, waiting for next year and hay season.

Don't forget to turn the electric fence back on!

Time to leave the BBD in charge for the rest of the day.   Hope you enjoyed this little tour of a part of my day.  Now it's back to some art work.  

Hope you all are having a safe and happy holiday season.

Be well.

Happy Birthday Anne!!

Happy Birthday Anne Huskey-Lockard!! 

This seems a most appropriate cake for the Queen Punk Anne.

She is fighting the fight of her life right now but she will win and  next year at this time when we celebrate her birthday we will haul out the grog and share double rations with everyone!

Happy Birthday, dear friend.  Love and hugs to you.
